Hire a dedicated offshore accounts assistant

One person. Your business only.
An accounts assistant is the engine room of a finance function — the processing, matching, and reconciling that keeps everything accurate underneath. It's structured, high-volume work that's ideal to run offshore at a fraction of UK cost.
Your accounts assistant works in your finance system to your processes — handling the transactional load so your senior finance people focus on reporting and decisions, not data entry.
What your accounts assistant can take care of
- Sales and purchase invoice processing
- Bank and supplier statement reconciliations
- Expense and petty cash processing
- Ledger maintenance and coding
- Supplier payment run preparation
- Credit card reconciliations
- Month-end support schedules
- Finance inbox and query handling
